EAST RUTHERFORD -- Despite all the new players, new coaches and new faces, the expectations haven't changed a bit for Giants general manager Jerry Reese.

Reese expects the Giants to be good, and he doesn't think that it will take an inordinate amount of time to mesh all the newness. He says they should be fine come Week 1.

"I think we're going to have a really good football team," Reese said on Wednesday before the Giants' second training camp practice of the year. "I'm very excited about the young players. We wanted to build a young team, a more physical football team that plays fast."

A total of 44 of the 90 players currently on the Giants roster weren't around at the end of last year. Reese also brought in 14 veteran free agents.

"Obviously did a lot of work this offseason," he said. "There is a lot of competition at a lot of different positions. So we're excited about that."

The goal is to avoid another playoff-less season, the fourth in five years, and steer clear of a slow start. The Giants began the 2013 campaign with six straight losses after Reese put a Super Bowl countdown clock in the locker room.

Now, they're looking for some redemption.

"Try to get the taste out of our mouth," Reese said.

The goals are simple. They're also lofty. So what if there has been so much turnover this offseason?

"Our expectations are very high. This is a high-performance business. We expect our team to be good every year. That is just the way we're built around here. That is how we think. That is what ownership expects from us. Our coaches expect that. Our players expect that," Reese said.

"We want to start by winning the division, get ourselves in the tournament and then we've seen us go all the way once we get in the tournament. We just have to get in the tournament."
